Where to get hitched with bike-riding guests?

Kristen from Silver Lake is getting married next spring and is looking for a wedding reception location that is fun, inspiring and close by for her bike riding friends.

My honey and I live in Silverlake & just got engaged! We are looking to have our ceremony in the Spring outside under some trees either in Griffith Park or Elysian Park, and would love to have the reception in a separate fun & inspiring location that will allow booze. Is there anyone out there who could recommend a cozy spot in one of the parks &/or a fun spot for a big-ol’ party within a 7 mile radius of Silverlake/Echo Park? It’s looking like we are going to have about 150 guests, with half of them getting from point A to point B by bicycle.

I’m getting married next spring, and we finished the location selection process recently. We looked at the LA River location and it was really, really awesome! I would totally recommend it. We ended up going with a different location, but the river spot made it to the final 2.

Both of the suggested Eagle Rock locations are made more accessible by their proximity to the 780/180 Busline–the most underrated and bike-friendly line in the entire MTA system: The Grove to Hollywood Blvd to Los Feliz to Glendale/Americana to Eagle Rock/Colorado Blvd to Old Town Pasadena… intersecting the Red and Gold lines and the LA River Bike Path.

The Montecillo de Leo Potli is a great place in Elysian Park. It’s private (can be rented out,) allows alcohol, has an outdoor small amphitheatre, clean bathrooms, and has bocce courts. It’s just a short ride or walk up off of stadium way. If you need a photographer too, I’m a wedding photographer and Echo Park native. Good luck!
